Hello Mark, Regarding the EMCD: You need to determine whether your component is considered "apparatus" in the sense of the EMCD or whether it is excluded from the scope of EMCD.
The EU guide to the EMCD contains a nice flowchart to help you determine whether your component is in the scope of the EMCD and which set of requirements applies. Should the component be in the scope of the EMCD, the requirements go way beyond just "good engineering practice", see the new EMCD for a full list of requirements.

Juli 2016 22:55 To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [PSES] RoHS and CE Discussion for component Hello group, I am having discussions with my team here in Michigan about what mandatory marks need to be on a device or component that is currently being developed. It will be a small measurement device rated 5 VDC @ 1.2 A. The device/component goes into a larger (ITE) system which will require to bear the appropriate marks for its intended markets. The component in question's power will come from the larger system and our user manual will recommend the use of an LPS for this device. This device will meet the EMC requirements of EN55032 (above 9kHz)and FCC part 15. The construction of this component will meet EN60950 construction requirements. It is actually an aluminum housing utilizing 94V-0 rated pcb's. The only thing we plan to ship is the component and a user/installation manual. Since this device will also meet the RoHS Directive requirements I am being told we need to apply a CE mark on the component because it is a requirement of the RoHS Directive. In addition since we plan on meeting the EMC Directive requirements (good engineering practices) we must label the component with the CE Mark and generate a DoC to the EMC and RoHS Directive. We have received zero inputs or requests from our potential OEM's that will incorporate this component in their product. So I am looking for advice as to what the real requirement might be. Applied due diligence yes, mandatory markings ???? I am struggling with. Any input you can offer is welcome.
